NEED HAIR MODELS: Free Haircuts!

Jevata Herman-Barbour, owner of Jevata the Salon & a renowned stylist (yes, she's mine!), is in dire need of models of Asian descent for an upcoming hair show...August 24th, 2008 in Richmond, VA. The theme for the hair show is Tokyo: sharp, edgy, & street-urban hair, her specialty!

This is no gimmick or experimentation, Jevata has perfected the cut and works a magic show with a razor or scissors when you're in her chair! Please email hellohairho@gmail.com to schedule your consultation.

Most Improved Hair: Beyonce'

God knows I'm a fan of Beyonce Knowles-Carter! I'm definitely not the hater type when it comes to women, especially African-American women, getting paid and signing checks! She's a helluva vocalist, performer, and well...I don't know about her acting skills, just yet.

But, I will say this...on top of having tons of money to throw around...I'm so thankful that she's revamped her hair team. Sometimes she has an occasional slip, but she's definitely improved from those Destiny's Child days!
I would like to see Beyonce take more risks with her hair. Her hair is very predicatable: layered, straight or wavy. But then I guess, that's her signature look. She's comfortable with it, and I'm sure Mr. Carter has gotten used to pulling on it. : )

Hair Goddess: EVA P.

Let's face it...Eva P.(Pigford) wears hair like a third accessory! Her hair definitely shows off her fun-loving personality and her versatile hair texture. Her naturally curly hair has also been sported bone straight, wavy, and as a fro'. I tip my hat, my wallet, and bow my head to a hair goddess that's not afraid to pull a bag of tricks out of her head!

Are you serious?


This has nothing to do with hair but, I ran across this on-line and couldn't believe that this is actually a movement. Nothing against the Simmons empire...but Vanessa? She's bright, fashion genius, but I didn't know she'd elevated to graphic-tee status!

Vicki Lately?


When did I miss this Beckham cut?!!!!! Circa 2007, I think I bit my tongue when it flashed on the screen! I love the fact that it's angle-cut heavy on her right side and then razor cut on the left. It's so Sexy Spice!

Thanks for the Real Love

To all my friends...I love you so much! "Naw this ain't no lesbo flow, just a little something, to let you playa-haters know..." Lil' Kim Get Money.

My friends are sweet, sexy, successful, supportive, and did I forget to mention stylish & rock the bomb hairstyles!?!

To my friends, with love and appreciation:

Hair Frustration!!


We all go through it...you wake up and look in the mirror and say, WTF! Your hair is a complete mess and you have no idea how to resurrect it back to life. You're tired of doing your hair! Everyday - curling iron, flat iron...all that spells, h-e-a-t. Something that your hair can surely do without. What's worse, you have highlights/color, so the hairstyle has to be appealing and your hair is at a length where a ponytail is a far reach.
Braids, weave, or cut it all off? These are the thoughts that peruse through my mind as I look in the mirror. So what am I going to do? Well, by the 12 o'clock hour I will have figured it out. Right now, my hair is in a "street" ponytail...the ponytail that was never supposed to be one! Hopefully, my next style will be a long-lasting one!

Meet Leanna Archer


Imagine being 12 years old and already rolling in your very own six-figure bank account. Now some of you are thinking that this could only happen if you were one of the Simmons kids or your parents were the Hiltons. But this is not the case for self-made entrepreneur Leanna Archer, who at the age of 8, turned a home made hair product into a six figure business. She says on her website Leanna's Hair, that her parents didn't take her idea seriously in the beginning. So, she turned into her own street team and began pushing the product to her classmates to try out. Once their parents started to contact Leanna about how they could purchase the product, that's when mom and dad decided to fine-tune their hearing and give their daughter's vision some serious thought. On her website she declares, "After ignoring me for about a year, Leanna’s Inc. was registered in New York and a website was created and now people from all over including Canada and the United Kingdom, close friends, relatives and my parent's co-workers are using Leanna’s hair products."

It's so awe-inspiring to hear stories like Leanna's. She's only 12 and at her own beckoning and not because her parents were rolling in dough, she made a vision into a reality and can I spin that broken record again, "SHE'S ONLY 12!!!"

So, what's so great about the product? Well, I haven't had the opportunity to try it out, but I am ordering a few of her recommended products online as we speak! But here's what she has to say about her product:

"The first thing I'd like to say is that Leanna's hair products is not only for kids, anyone can use it. This product is for everyone and can be used on natural, chemically processed , corn rolls or braided hair to nourish and lubricate dry hair and itchy scalps. Our products are not going to make your hair grow overnight but believe us, it will help it grow. If your hair is falling, do an oil treatment and it will stop falling in a matter of days, not a week not a month. Say goodbye to dry scalp, the oils are pure, not watered down, and very light, use it and style your hair the way you want to , it will not weigh it down."
Let's support our young folks people. We always seem to talk candidly about what they're not doing, but this time, at least we can bite our tongues for a minute and support a young lady fulfilling her purpose...one hair product at a time!
